    While in Venice, I was drawn into the Piazza San Marco scene like any other tourist. It's part of the charm of visiting Italy and doing all the touristy things you will not admit to later when you've become a seasoned traveler (i.e. "I am holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa" snapshot). Yes, the music is great and the drinks are divine, but the price is sky high as well. If you haven't been in Italy before, you may be unfamiliar with the concept of the coperto (cover charge to sit at a table, yes, just to sit, it's part of the experience so don't complain, just enjoy it), but either way, if you want a quick drink and a bit of a stroll, just go into a bar or cafe and order your drink to go. Yes, it can be done. If there is one place I would recommend, it would be an incredible night spot I came upon in the vecinity of the Accademmia. It doesn't have a name, at least what I recall of it, but it looks just like any other Venice entry way into a house. Once in, you see a bar, some arcade games, the loo, and a dancefloor. I was quite surprised that there was a discotheque hidden away in the calles by the Accademmia. I was lucky to have a local as my "guide" and we had an absolutely great time. Another place I simply loved to visit was "Baccaro Jazz Club" (I don't know if I spelled it correctly) for their bruschetta and Bellinis. I loved the music, service, ambiance, and everything this great little joint has to offer. It's really close to the Rialto bridge and really accessible from San Marco as well. I had a jolly good time in this great spot that often times goes unnoticed.

  • Directions: For the cafe's head to Piazza San Marco. For the Accademia area club, speak to a local because it was mostly locals. Baccaro is by the Rialto when walking from San Marco, right by McDonalds and the Post Office area.

  • Santa Maria della Salute at Night - Venice

    In Venice, the mood changes dramatically as you transition from day to night. There is almost an air of intrigue as you pick up your walking pace along darkened alleys and make your escape under cover of darkness around corners. Voices come down to hushed whispers as lovers quietly walk hand in hand with each other. People gather around the piazzas, but you find yourself in an eerie solitude as you wander a little ways away from these areas. You cannot leave Venice without seeing the Piazza San Marco at night or Santa Maria della Salute at the mouth of the Grand Canal. Spectacular!!

    The nights can get a bit chilly. A light jacket or shawl is comfortable even in warm days.

    Stroll the city at night- it's a must!! If you can't afford to eat at any of the restaurants, just walk around the city and people watch. One good path: Start at the alley just off of St. Mark's Square next to the cathedral (when you are looking at St. Mark's, it is on your left). Take a right at the next path that seems relatively full of people; keep walking down that path. There will be some restaurants, some bridges (of course!), some gelato stands, some phones (in case you have a calling card) and the most gorgeous backview of the Bridge of Sighs. At night, the Bridge is lit and it seems to come out of nowhere. If you're lucky, a musician will be playing on the bridge you cross, giving you the most perfect Venetian moment you could ever ask for.

    Anything you want!

    Venice just has to be the most romantic place on the earth, there is something special about walking through the streets of venice late at night with the moon shimmering on the beautifull canals and a beautifull woman holding your hand, now if thats not romantic i don't know what is.

    This Grand piece of architecture looks so majestic standing proudly over The Grande Canal,but as you get closer you can see the graffitti that covers many of the wooden covers. Some thoughtless morons can ruin a beautiful icon of a wonderful city,just with 10 minutes of stupidity.

    With all the water and the city steeped in romance and history, watching the moon rise is an event unto itself. If you're lucky enough to be there for a full moon, so much the better. And if that full moon happens to be on the longest day of the year and also on your birthday? You're in blissful heaven.

    However you like.

    Not a huge amount happens in Venice after dark, its not a party town by any means. So, the best thing to do is strol, look into the little shops and maybe do some shopping. There are a lot of cafes still open and the waterfront and San Marco are spectacular at night.

    Comfy shoes, Something light and cool.

    Bars and enotecas tend to be small in Venice so a large crowd tends to form outside, even in cool weather. This is certainly aided by the ban on smoking. Make sure you go out drinking when in Venice to mix with the locals, especially in the areas surrounding Ponte di Rialto which tend to have the most popular bars. You will notice that most people drink wine out of a stem glass on the campo! Given that many of the locals need to catch the last train to the mainland, Venice's bar scene tends to peak on the early side, perhaps around 8pm or so.

    Elegant for sure!

    I would most certainly recommend taking in the breath taking scenes of St. Marc's Square and the golden mosaic's surrounding you, as its like nothing you've ever seen. As the sun started to slowly desend, its rays beamed off the golden buildings lit them up like you'd found a hidden treasure of gold ! Just look at the pictures, they speak for themselves

    In January when we went, its HIGHLY advisable to wrap up as it can get very bitter
